Let's Meditate

Price: Free

DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

Let's Meditate is one of the rare, free meditation apps. It's not exactly barebones. However, it doesn't have a whole ton of features. It does feature 30 guided meditations and a simple interface. Ironically, the lack of features really gives this a simple, zen feeling. You won't be moving around the UI trying to find stuff very often. Other than that, it's a simple little app. It also contains no in-app purchases or advertisements.

Some of the other stuff it does is cognitive behavioral therapy, relaxation techniques, mood tracking, and health tracking. Users can even keep a stress and anxiety journal. There is a lot of stuff in this app. More than we have space for here. You can use a lot of it for free for a bit. You do have to subscribe to get everything.

Stop Breathe and Think

Price: Free / Up to $2.99

DOWNLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY

Stop Breathe and Think is a decent meditation app. It tries to focus more on things like stress and anxiety. Frankly, they all do, but this one focuses more heavily on those two in particular.

You can download the app for free. Thankfully, the paid version isn't expensive.
